A video content collection system for equipping non-technical users with a content collection platform on a computing device having a camera, such as a mobile phone or tablet, that creates custom strategic video stories maximizing story-craft toward a particular aim and possibly having a positive effect on individuals involved in the stories. The platform allows for the creation of custom videos according to a selected template following a storytelling framework. The custom videos are compiled, potentially with release forms and a default arrangement following the storytelling framework and provided to a final content generation system to generate the final content and save it in a data store accessible to the computing device. The final content generation system, internally or externally to the computing device, performs editing tasks to return a final video or generates desired final content based on scoring of the custom video and processed data therefrom.
